The Peoples Candidate, Joseph
Male, Sweeps the Field
by l,l2o Majority.
A Rousing Victory For Enterprise
and Progress-The Alder
manic Election.
From TUESDAYS Daily.

The election is over and ended, and the
peoples candidate for mayor has been car
ried through to victory by a splendid ma
jority. The election was ground swell
of the people. They were interested,
they were aroused, and they organized
for bitter struggle. They were pre-
pared for a combat even mightier than
they encountered, and they went into the
fight yesterday morning with conf
dence in the success of their
cause, and with boldness
of front that spread dismay in the ranks
of the opposition and caused them to
wage weak kneed fight from the Begin
ming.
AS early as 10 or IL o'clock it began to
be conceded that Mr.. Male was elected,
and two hours later the question was, "By
how much majority will he get there?'
Interest, in the meanwhile, was 'bilin'
hot" in every contested ward over the
alderman contest. In the First ward Mr..
Jake Schneider had no opposition.
In the Sixth ward Mr.. w. B. Workman
had walkover, and in the wards where il
was a rough and tumble fight the result is
shown in the report given below:
THE NEW COUNCIL
